Reviewed by Roy T. James for Readers' Favorite

I'll Give You Exactly Five Minutes by Peter Danish is a good reference document for preparing presentations. As suggested, along with the name itself, the author introduces us to the ORSON method, an acronym for the structure of a good presentation. Overview, giving a bird’s eye view of the topic; Research, the information content, the delightful part of the presentation; Solution, the corrective elements in it; Opportunity, what this could mean to one; and Next Steps, what further remains, or where does one go from here, are the elements of the ORSON presentation and each of these is described in detail. At each step, practical skills needed as well as the bad ideas to avoid are also discussed.

I'll Give You Exactly Five Minutes by Peter Danish is a holistic guide which makes presentations easy, effective and error free. This book boasts a good number of sensible tips about making an effective, great presentation. Discussing things to avoid, as well as offering guidelines to planning and demonstrating, this book is full of helpful lists and tables, not to mention a plethora of practical advice to make the task of presenting anything child’s play. Highlighted action verbs and equations are shown at frequent intervals, indicating the points to be remembered. Apt quotations and anecdotes make the topic and its delivery quite interesting. For example, who can have stage fright after reading this: “The best way to avoid stage fright is to know what you are talking about.”
